TV, and lots of it.

Sweet Everything, ECW induced the vapors. Regal called Jericho "Christopher", and Jericho called him "Mr. Regal", then they discussed suits. If tea had shown up, I would have needed a fainting couch.

White Collar. I liked Burke a lot more than I thought I would. The commercial's played him as the dolt, but he's a vivid character. Smart, good at what he does. The little aside about stalking his wife, pre-marriage was creepy (rather than funny and "sweet" as the show played it off).

It's unfortuneate Neil doesn't have a sexier name. Neal. Really? But he's okay to look at, and I like the rat-packy look, even if it's some dead guy's clothes. I wasn't thrilled with that angle--- felt sorta MarySue-ish. I know they were trying to establish his character as charming and lucky and all that, but yeah. It was a little too easy and too awesome and the family moved in with were just a little okay with a slick stranger trotting around in grandpa's clothes.

I like how they handled the little things. The way Neal had his cell decorated, then when he re-captured, the way it was stripped from him. I like the supporting characters, though I hope the Probie isn't there just for ratings-grabbling HLA. I put the show on a season pass; we'll see if I stick with it.
